Dagim 3

Dear Dagim Parents,
Three spectacular weeks have already flown by, with so many fun acitivities, games, and special days. Throughout the week we have learned a bunch of games, skills, and knowledge. The children were taught about the holiday of Passover and the ten plagues that affected Egypt. We also had Rock Star Day which was amazing and extremely successful! The children looked fantastic and rocked out all day. Friday, was Photo Day. It was so much fun to see and be a part of the beautiful, silly, and outrageous pictures that were created! If you have not already seen, I am sure you will, but the children learned how to make fossils in our science class this week! We went searching through the woods to find different shapes, sizes, and textures of leaves. We then placed a piece of paper over the leaf and colored the impression of the leaf to make our own fossils, the children really enjoyed that new experience. We have also been learning about different kinds of insects in our nature class. The children have been able to see frogs, praying mantes, and a lot of other insects found in our own woods. This week, due to the size of our group, we are going to split the kids in to two schools of Dagim (Fish). We will still have the exact same schedule.
Next week we will be learning about other Israel Holidays and Tisha B’Av. The children will be creating a bunch of new projects and masterpieces surrounding these specific holidays. Also on Thursday, we will be hosting our Israel Day/ Food Festival. This will be a fun day to experience different kinds of foods and learn more about Israel! It will be a lot of fun for all the children Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
Amanda, Chris, Bridget & Aliza
